I'd be replacing the door. Cutting a hole in glass isn't the best idea.
Keep an eye on second hand sites selling doors. I got a 2nd hand composite door with frame that was from a new build, the guys wife didn't like it. Suited me for new garage access door. £80. Absolute bargain and much easier to cut a hole in should you need to.

Good shout. The quote is to replace the door with toughened glass.Keep an eye on second hand sites selling doors.

I recently paid £120 to have a double glazed half height pane cut to size with a sealed hole for £120. Transparent cat flap was £50 delivered - https://superiorpetdoors.co.uk/product/g-iddc-inte... Technically that’s a small dog flap but our calico is a 6kg unit!
Glazer fitted the window pane and the cat flap to make sure all fitted and sealed. Proper job.

It's an easy job.
Measure the glass length & width starting from, and ending to the beads, then take 5mm a side off to allow room. Also thickness which i'd expect to be 24mm (2x 4mm glass and a 16mm spacer).
You can then order a replacement unit with a hole in from any retailer. I used glasstops.co.uk and cost about £180.
Fitting is easy (better with 2 people) took about 15 minutes, and I'm not in the trade or anything. Watch some videos, shows how simple it really is.
Cat flap was about £15 from Amazon.

That sounds more like it, was that a local or national company?
